That’s a great story! As a faceblind person I always enjoy stories about other people not being able to recognize someone

I carry around copious amounts of books in my backpack, Elend reference. I got a paper cut and put a bandaid on it, Kaladin reference.

Nice, I’ve tried making keteks before but I can never figure out where to start Merry Christmas y’all!

Nice! You did a particularly great job on the last two verses

Dang it, now I’m gonna cry. That’s so awesome, thank you for sharing!

Sorry, I'm super busy and I really wish I could join but I'm only able to go on the Shard like twice a week at the very best, more often once if I'm lucky, so I won't be able to

No one's posted on this in a while but I too have way too many hobbies I think that's it?

I know this is like 2 months late and I haven't actually posted anything on this thread yet (I still can't believe I didn't know this existed *facepalms*) but that sounds so awesome! If you do eventually end up making it I will totally buy one!

I have no idea, it just sounded more interesting with the half

That is a great question, I’m guessing thirteen and a half

Another weird thought from me: we claim humans are superior but we scream when tiny bugs we could squash with a finger appear in the room And another weird one from my brother: teeth are the only problem where if you ignore them, they go away

Yeah at least I think that’s what I’m saying I kinda broke my brain ha Hey mine too! Another one I’m stealing from my brother (cause it’s kinda funny): the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs technically had the highest ratio of birds killed with one stone

So my siblings and I have a lot of weird thoughts, so I decided to make a forum for them. ...what else is there to add? I won't be putting stuff on this all the time but if anyone else wants to put their weird thoughts on this feel free. Now, let the weirdness commence! Short weird thought (stealing this from my brother, or maybe one of his friends, I'm not sure): Brushing your teeth is the closest you'll ever get to cleaning your own bones. Long weird thought (this one is my own): In books, there are, for the most part, two kinds of time travel. One is multiple timelines, but also multiple alternate universes (we'll call it the Branches Timeline for now) - so if you go back in time and do something, when you return you're in an alternate universe (like in Back to the Future). So if you accidentally kill your past self, you go back to the future and you're now dead. The other kind is a sort of loop (we'll call this the Loop Timeline) - multiple timelines, all going at once, but no alternate universes (like in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, if that makes it a little less confusing). So if you go to the past in that one, you come back and it's exactly the same, because your future self did that too and so will your past self, so it's like a giant loop. Now this is the part where I break your brain: So killing your past self won't affect you, because it doesn't immediately change, so you'll still be alive. Except your future self will have already killed you, so you'll be dead. But then it won't be a Loop Timeline anymore because you won't be able to kill your past self. And if it's not a Loop Timeline anymore, then suddenly you live in a Branches Timeline. That could be what would end up happening, but then one person doing that will change the kind of time travel that happens for everyone. So that means that if it's a Loop Timeline, no one has ever killed their past self or been killed by their future self. And, since in every book with time travel I can think of that has a Loop Timeline also has a world that's been around for a while, meaning it's likely that that sort of thing has happened before. So technically, the Loop Timeline should not exist, as it would change to the Branches Timeline when someone inevitably accidentally killed their past self. ...sorry if I broke your brain with that, I definitely broke mine lol (no, wait - I did that last week...) Proof that humans are weird (this is also my own): We paint our nails and lips the color of blood and call it pretty Okay done with the first Wave of Weirdness. Huzzah!

...y'all your maps are so cool mine look like a five year old drew them

Thank you!

So uh hi I found this by accident but I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints so I thought I'd post something or...another something so hi I guess ...wow I really am socially awkward ha

Welcome to the Shard! What is your favorite cosmere book?

Good question! I have no idea, but Doomslug and Sarene are both great

I don't know about a Misting, but if I were a Feruchemist and could only use one metal, it would definitely be copper, it would be awesome to have my own personal mental library.

Yes I love playing piano

Elantris, definitely. And yes piano

Nobody has posted on this in a while but if possible I'd like to join the Knights Awkward. Books before friends 17th Shard before the real world Release dates before birthdays I am fulfilled now

Ditto. Glad I'm not the only one

Thank you! Same to you

Hi Psi! I'm new on 17th Shard as well. I am also interested in becoming a professional novelist. What is your favorite Brandon Sanderson book?
